I just got a new computer last week and my EQ5 is still in the old one. Made a pattern this weekend with colored pencils and it took nearly an hour. Yikes. Cannot wait until Jim can transfer it. I LOVE my EQ5.

EQ 7 for Mac came out last week and I ordered it yesterday from my LQS. The reviews are excellent. Just got my Mac a few months ago and so glad I waited for the new program instead of getting the migration kit. Can't wait to get started learning and already have the tutorials on QB bookmarked.

Hello,
There has been lots of discussion about various quilt softwares available, and EQ looks like the most comprehensive one, although its user interface leaves lots to be desired. For those of you who make your own patterns, which software do you use? I am looking for something that is going to give me the most freedom in creating my own patterns. Paper and pencil are great, but a computer program would be better. Thanks a lot.

a lot of work went i to these! I , too, look forward to exploring them. I reloaded my EQ6 onto my note book PC since we are chatting about design software. I had to dust off my EQ6 manual! It had been forever since I played with it! I did have to perform an "update" from the Electric Quilt we site to get it to work on my newer PC. It works fine!

Jokir, the migration kit IS the full program. If you already had EQ7 for Windows, it's nothing more than a new license to use EQ on the Mac instead of windows. They were allowing current EQ7 users to upgrade to the Mac for a nominal fee, instead of having to buy a whole new program. EQ didn't want to charge current users the full price for the Mac version if they already owned EQ7.
